| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles inorganic amendments, stating that "they are expensive, and not all situations justify the cost in comparison to sound, basic soil management and appropriate cultural practices." Mentions different potential uses for inorganics, including for putting green rootzone mixes, renovating or resurfacing greens, and to fill aeration holes. Concludes that "it is important for superintendents to carefully weigh the advantages of inorganic amendments as compared to traditional organic amendments. There are only a few scenarios where the inorganics have been shown to be advantageous vs. organics as part of a management program with aeration." |

Abstract
(Thanks to DTRF) | "De meeste anorganische bodemverbeteraars zijn pas in de laatste 10 tot 15 jaar op de markt gezet. Een klein aantal heeft echter een veel langere geschiedenis. Zo wordt in ons vak een gecalcineerde klei met de merknaam Turface al sinds 40 jaar veelvuldig na het beluchten ingewerkt om de drainage en vochtregulering te verbeteren. Dit product werd verondersteld van grote waarde te zijn, maar wetenschappelijke research naar de effecten ervan ontbreekt. Feitelijk veroorzaakte het product grote problemen omdat de stabiliteit en structuur ervan onbetrouwbaar waren." |
